Here is a very old Finnish traditional folk song called "Nuku Nuku Nurmilintu" our first Winter / Yule Special. Song is very old and there are versions of it already written in 1800 and a version closer to mine in 1890, thus Public Domain. There are many lovely versions around, it's such a beautiful tune in my opinion. The recording is very minimal, using only voice, harmonies, low whistle and kantele (national Finn music instrument) as the lead. I tried my best to pronounce well the words but I'm not native so my apologies if pronunciation is not 100% accurate with all my respect to Finn Heritage :). Song is a lullaby about a wag tail (Motacilla alba). Can you count how many scenes the bird appear in? Also as always a second eater egg is that as usual I hide (one or more) ratties in the video :) Pd all my three ratties had Finn names : Ritva, Tuula and Taika

My fiance who is Finnish, and I lost our 6 month old baby granddaughter 3 days ago. I would like to dedicate the song, this beautiful ancient song, to little Miss M.R. rest in peace honey, this is not for forever it's just for a little while. I love you. Thank you for this beautiful lullaby 💜💜
First of all, I am sorry about your loss. Sending my condolences to you both. And honoured you found it comforting to bid farewell. Safe journey little one.
❤️ my condolences ❤️ osanotot
My heart breaks for you, your beloved Granddaughter, and all of her other loved ones. I wish I could convey how deeply sorry I am. She is forever alive in every cell of you amd each member of her family, and she lives on with you and through you all. My most sincere and heartfelt condolences and wishes of comfort.
This made me cry sending love and light 💕💕💕
Hi, this song is actually a very painful song about a dying child. "nuku nurmelle hyvälle, vaivu maalle valkialle" sleep upon gentle grass, sink into the pure ground"
This touched my Finnish soul ❤
Thank you for making this.
That makes me very happy :) I'm a ware as not native that I may pronounce a bit off here and there but was done with respect and love. Hope one day I can visit the laplands and see the Northern Lights. Best Regards.
@@yidneth I come to listen to this every now and then and I have say that your pronunciation is mostly perfect. The only part that has a small difference is the "väsy väsy" that sounds more like "vässy vässy". The rest is native Finn level. Be proud.
@@KaiMarcad Aw that makes me happy, I tried my best, I'm from Spain and I do not speak the language so I was aware it would not be perfect but I'm happy it still conveys the message I always try to be respectful and careful. I play some kantele (and jouhikko) and even my rats (who appear in the video and in every single of my videos, even if now they're gone I composite them in as kind of a game) they had all three Finn names "Ritva, Tuula and Taika"
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kiitos
I'm finnish and my grandma used to sing me to sleep with this lullaby when I was little :)
Aw that is sweet, so honoured you let me know. I'm glad it brought back such fond memory to you. Blessings. I'm not native speaker so my apologies if my pronounciation is not perfect, it was done with the right heart
@Firefly 001 I have a song called "Nightmare" I have sleep paralysis ;-)
me too man this gives memories
One of my grandparents was 100% Finnish. The language is fascinating. Beautiful video, song, and performance. Thank you.
Aw that is lovely, I hope made justice to the song. Blessings
One of the oldest languages in the world.
I'm not native speaker and I tried my best, but I had the heart in the right place :) did you see the birdie in the video :)? Blessings
Actually it is old norse that is the oldest language spoken by the vikings
@@corriescott2124 how this got something to do whit this?
@@corriescott2124 how is this related to the vikings???
❤ elvish is such a beaitiful language. 😂 Just kidding (my forefathers came from Finnland and Norway)
I fully believed first that you are a finnish singer. Very good pronunciation.
I tried my best, I am from Spain. Thank you. I love kantele so lovecsomevFinn and Karelian songs
Finnish pronunciation is not that difficult for non-English speakers. I am from Poland and Finnish pronunciation is actually full of logic and one of the easiest to my ear.
👏👏👏 Finnish Elf Music, Quenya Rulez🇫🇮🥰
Tolkien did take a lot of lingüistic inspo from norse languages

Thanks also to all contributors correcting the translation. I'm foreign so if you see any mistake let me know in comments :) Thank you :)
This is the first Finnish song I've ever heard as I have begun studying the language recently. I'm really into music, so I've decided to incorporate it into my learning. I am not disappointed. This is beautiful 🖤
Thank you so much, I do not speak Finn but all my pets had finn names, and I play some kantele and jouhikko. It won't be the last finn song I'll cover :)
Who says Finnish is not a beautiful language, and you sang beautifully 💚😊
I have always thought it sounds super elven
This song gives best vibes , thanks for gorgeous version of it , and greetings from Kazakhstan for Finland
Aw thanks for your lovely comment. I love kantele and ancient luklabies. Thanks for the lovely comment.
Just found this version of Nuku Nuku Nurmilintu, and this is the most beautiful one. My mom and grandma sang it when I was just a wee child, so listening this flung me back in time. Been listening this all day at work, your voice + perfectly pronounced finnish + lyrics (lullaby / mourning of a dead child) is a powerful combination! As a finn I appreciate you for bringing this song into the wider audience, and your effort of speaking finnish. Just SUPERB. It is said that J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired to create Quenyan from finnish, and listening your voice with kantele playing, and finnish lyrics, it is very ethereal and beautiful indeed.
Thank you so much for this insightful and encouraging comment, specially coming from someone knowing the language. I tried my best to pronounce it as best as I could but obviously I'm a foreign, so sometimes you feel hesitant and it's very encouraging when people let you know they feel it's done with care and respect. I love the ancient knowledge and lore behind old traditional songs and have a special weak spot for lullabies. Yes indeed, Finn sounds very elven, and I thought the aesthetics kind of enhance that feeling
This is a gorgeous song. It totally has an Etherial Forest beautiful vibe and sound to it. The video is really pretty too. Awesome job. Holiday blessings to you and yours from Canada
Thank you and greetings back from Spain. This was all the snow we had this year (it was filmed in November). Most of my channel is devoted to my original but I like to share some old traditional folk music and old geeky things that were in my "walkman" (yeah, that vintage) when a child.
Por un momento pensé que era Quenya, no cabe duda que el Fines es un lenguaje muy hermoso :'3
Qué vídeo tan precioso! 💜 estás deslumbrante con ése vestido 😊 y la canción qué lindaaaa da muchísima paz, gracias bonita por tu arte 💜💜💜
Gracias, es del Costureo Real, estaba Alassie como, traje el vestido, pero hace frío, y yo... espera haha que me lo pongo :) hahha Encontraste las fufunchis? No pongas el time park por si otros quieren jugar hahah :) esta vez es bien fácil :)
This location is Stunning!! Wow! A Perfect setting for this beautiful song
Thank you always for your friendship and support Susan, hugs
Hello how are you
@@yidneth how are you doing
@@yidneth Can you tell us where you did this?
@@danielholowaty2648 It is not Finland (I wish!) bit beechwoods in Navarre, North of Spain, some Finn friends sent me pics and thought it looked close enough
borned in sweden (finnish parents) but finnish with my heart and soul
Aww greetings from Spain, and glad you found my channel, I love Finn music too (and the kantele)
I love how finnish language sounds and I've loved how you make it yours. Mystical song and so beautiful landscapes (once again amazing my hidden Navarre)... This opus is an invitation to dream
More finn on the way but first one icelandic and latvian and more originals. Finnis very elven, Tolkien inspired elven languages in Finn
This is the first time I hear this traditional, and you did such a sublime job! You managed to keep the ancient sound with a delicate grace, and it reminds be of old nordic fairy tales with dark mystical forests. And the video is visually stunning also, with the forest in autumn and winter at the same time, and your purple dress that really contrasted the landscape, so beautiful! More lullabies/ancient songs please! And PS, it took my a bit, but I was able to spot your adorable ratties this time 💚
Yayyy you found fufunchis!!!🐭🐭🐭 thanks for the listen and wonferful compliment too. Loved that day between seasons.
i think my mother was elf, she sing this to me.
What a beautiful thought
Great video with lovely music! It’s a pleasure for me to see my little bird in your video! Thank you! 👏🎥👍🤗🌞
Oh my THANKS TO YOU! I think it was an important thing in the lyrics and well now it magically is part of the "story". Thanks for your kindness and for being part of this little project. Since I made the video I've spotted a few visiting us, I live in Spain but they come in Winter, just yesterday, one day after releasing the video one came to greet and chirped and me I was, now you come! huh?! hahahah :) But yours was perfect, and also it was a challenge for me to learn how to composite it in. It was fun too! Thank you so much. I subscribed. you have amazing videos. Blessings!
Great job by you! I subscribed too 👍
@@ToToWildlife in love with your owl video. I saw you visited Spain! I live in Navarre (North) 🍂🌱
Lo amo. Como siempre ❤️❤️❤️ Tienes un talento y una creatividad maravillosos.
Muchísimas gracias, en este caso es una reinterpretación de una nana muy antigua pero llevada a otro humor y género :). Ya había hecho una de Letonia (en breve una segunda) y la idea es aparte de hacer mi música, revisitar algunas melodías antiguas, porque también es una forma de que permanezcan :)
I singing this to my youngest daughter, every time she goes ng to sleep, she is born in Finland.
My oldest son and daughter, I sang trational songs to in Swedish, becorse they are born in sweden.
Its important keep trational from newborn age..
This is BEAUTIFUL!❤️ Looking fwd to watching more of your art 🤗
Oh my thanks for the compliment. I just subscribed, your array mbira performances are beautiful, here in my channel I have also my originals butbas you csn perceive I am fonder of more tranquil dreamy realms. Thank you for stopping by!
Kiitos kauniista laulusta ja kiitos osan otoista
Very beautilful version. :)
Actually the song is not about a wag tail. It's a lullaby to "nurmilintu", wich can be translated as a grassbird, but there's no such bird. In the song nurmilintu is the baby that mother is trying to get fall asleep. It is old Finnish tradition to put at summertime a blanket to the grass yard in a shady place, maybe under a tree, and then put the child on to the blanket to get the daily nap. That's why in the song mother calls her baby to her grassbird.
On the second line mother sings "Get tired, get tired wag tail", because real wag tails seems to jump tirelessly over the grass yard.
On the second verse mother sings just about different birds. A bird brings a cotton shirt. The widgeon brings a good skirt. The merganser brings a little pillow. The swallow brings a pillow.
Because the song is a lullaby, the actual meaning of the words wasn't so important. And mother could also made up more words while singing, until the child fall asleep.
By the way, in the video it seems to be too cold to put the child sleep on the yard. The air and the ground must be quite warm to do that. More than 20°C (68°F).
Thsnk you for the thorough expanation. I know it is an old lullaby, I saw several old nursery rhymes snd found a book with the vastarakki along with it so I asdumed Tired tired vastarakki could also refer as metaphor to the child. I also found a few sadder references using this song as a mourning as they drift into a white land. I reinterpret only and I am a creature of the woods an animals, have no other children and loved the mossy pillow reference as outdoors, I do love a mossy pillow myself. Still I love your thorough comment and to have a deeper explanation origins of things makes me happy, also and as not native I could no grasp entirely which other birds were. Thank you so much. When I shared this I was given advice to check a fellow native singer Merja soria on youtube, she does such a lovely version just with her kantele and believe she has all the warmth I may lack. Loved hers, very earthy and warm. Mine was though made from the heart too. I know I have an accent too. And thanks once more, I love feedback that actually feedback that makes me know from it. I also have found all kinds of different versions and info, a sheet score dating 1800, info of a sung version en the 1890s... And I winder how old really is as this or previoys versions that nourished it. Blessings
@@yidneth
It is possible that the same song could be sometimes also used as a memorial song to buried child too. But today most people thinks this is a lullaby. This melody is very old Karelian melody, and it maight have many other usages too. No one knows the origin of it. This melody and rhythm are very same type as on Finnish national poem Kalevala. I can open Kalevala in any page and sing the poems with this melody. It is possible that some poem singers have use this exact melody to bypass Kaleva's poems to next generations. Other melodies are also possible, but the rhythm itself has been written to lyrics. Or maybe more singed than written, because scientist and doctor Elias Lönnrot was walking through the Karelian area listening and writing the poems down first time at 1835. Whatever the melody was to singing Kalevala poems, it was most likely based on a sound of minor chord tuned 5-string Kantele. Like this melody too.
@@GeeMyJoe once more thanks for all the information. It also gives me some I need for further research. I wish I had a 5 stringed kantele. I have a 10 and 21 but most learning tutorials I find for chord strumming are for five. th-cam.com/video/ke8qA6SjG9s/w-d-xo.html this is an early example of how kantele started to be part of my own original music. So I started to feel curiosity for the instrument (used also in Latvia as kokle). I am intrigued now by Konevitsan kirkonkellot but all i find is that its firsr recording is 1952 out of a karelian melody but i need to track a source older than 1920 so it is public domain so mostly interested in locating very very old recordings or scores. Thanks once more for the interesting info 💟❤
Where is this filmed?
Navarre, north of spain
Enjoyed listening again to this lovely Finnish lullaby - and loving the kantele that you're plucking. Your voice suits the instruments and magic mossy setting. Love this!
Thanks so much Louisa, I am always afraid when I pronounce a foreign language, but looks I didn't mess up much. I have an icelandic coming up, it's a old norse lullaby about ghosts, stay tuned. :) I love European traditional songs because I play some kantele, so it's also an aknowledgment of its influence on my own.
Everything in this video is beyond words, utterly beautiful. Also, I so love purple and seeing your magical dress in this equally magical environment is a perfect combination of cultural and natural beauty. Congratulations and thank you so much for this magnificent work of art🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for the kind words. Though the channel is devoted to my original fantasy music, I like to cover traditionals with old lore a (also some geek fantasy things from my childhood). I have a weakness for lullabies and songs that have a long story of oral traditions. Thanks for stopping by the channel and the gentle encouragement.
@@yidneth Thank YOU for your heartwarming feedback! I'm sure all Finns are proud of this amazing work of artistry paying homage to their magical culture. May you stay safe from all harm and the Cosmic Mother bless you and your loved ones🙏🙏🙏
'Väsy' in this instance is 'tire' (as in get tired), 'kaskeloinen' most likely refers to 'koskelo' which is 'merganser' in English.
so it's best to change it for "get tired" ? as encouraging to sleep. And also thanks for the Koskelo, I actually knew it was a species of diving duck but didn't know the name in english so thank you for that. Thanks for your contribution. Also I'm plotting another one in Finn in the near future. I just love the way it sounds and it encourages me to play my kantele. Tried my best. Will edit right away, and thanks so much for the corrections.
@@yidneth Yes, 'get tired' would be more accurate to the meaning. And you're welcome! Finnish is my native language 😊
@@lauraristimaki9441 Being that way you know better than I :) I guess it's like Hush, Hush! kind of. I arleady edited them and thanks so much for the contribution. I really hope you liked the song. I know my pronounciation and captions might not have been perfect but it's done with the heart in its place. Kiitos
@@yidneth Actually your pronunciation was very good for someone who's not a native Finnish speaker. The only thing that I noticed was the way you sang 'väsy'; the 'S sound' sounded slightly too strong. Other than that you did a great job! 👍
@@lauraristimaki9441 that makes me very happy and encourage to maybe try again. As foreign I have no way to know, but I do a lot of listening 🎧 and try my best to be as close to the languages when i choose other countries traditional. And thanks again for the correction ♥️
Truly Beautiful!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

One of the smartest people on this planet, the soumi
Stunning!
Your videos are so surreal sometimes I can't tell what's really there or what isn't haha. Those mushrooms are colder than the ones in my fridge. xxx
I will share my blog post tomorrow, I was writing it now but zzz are winning, I like to add gifs and such, and just hurried to upload and heading to cuddle in bed, but should have a making of article tomorrow. I filmed "Grow" in part in these woods but season makes it so different. Lol it was a bit chilly and sleet lol 😂😂😂 of course birdies hidden but fufunchis too 🐭🐭🐭 it is tradition 😂

This place looks unreal!
Aww you are so sweet, my ratties (just like in every video) are hidden in scene (thus they're always with me) and song is about a wagtail so that's why there is a bird. Thanks so much always for the encouragement and support. I do appreciate it. Maybe one day a traditional from your country... Hope I'm not butchering Finn LOL hahah
Beautiful lullaby! Warm greeting from Vietnam!
Oh how far, I'm so glad to know my work reach such distant places (I'm based in Spain). I really appreciate the complimetn.
This voice ist Mad for mystic Songs of lost timrrs pasting away for longtimes

Butifulul song ❤
My country boy sung this song if i couldn't sleep and hug me...He said: Here...here, everything will be okay...I miss that times😢
It is a indeed a beautiful soothing lullaby.
@@yidneth : Yes, it is...Wonderful clip&voice
Te encontre y me suscribo, traes paz a mi alma, gracias
Ah genial veo que lo encontraste, espero que encuentres cositas en el canal, sobre los discos están en spotify yidneth.com y bueno siempre agradecida de un lindo comentario. Gracias, viste las ratitas? Hay ratitas ocultas en cada video
I really think that it is so beautiful and so lovely forest and singing.
Thanks, it's a traditional lullaby from Finland
@@yidneth you are very welcome,
Thanks for telling me that
This is such a lovely song! And an excellent performance 😊
Thank you, really honoured you liked it
Nice music - im a swedish folk musician and have played a lot of trad Finnish music. Wonderful filming you have done it very well. Thanks for sharing!
By the way you have my sub!
I will go and check, I love traditional folk, I make my original music mostly in this channel (as Priscilla Hernandez on spotify and bandcamp) but I had influences from folk and also film music, and I'm trying to revisit some very old traditionals from different countries. In swedish I only know a song Mio min Mio from a movie but it's from the 80s and not really traditional, :) I always welcome recommendations of old public domain folk songs. thanks for the compliment
Yay, thanks for the subs, trying to reach 10k so I have the stories and I can share making of and wip and candid, so thanks I appreciate it
❤️
Thanks for listening :) and merry closing of the year :)
Lovely cover! A very mesmerizing song
Thank you. It is a Finn traditional ❤
Preciosa canción, precioso paisaje, preciosa interpretación, me encanta, eres muy buena.
Muchísimas gracias este tema es finlandés pero en el canal tb encontrarás mucha música original
Wow, this is a fabulous video dear Priscilla in every regard: Beautiful angelic voice, you look great, cute bird at 1:58 and I love the transition from the last shot into your logo!
Thank you so much, it's a very old lullaby but I like the old lore in ancient songs
My Kids ( 3years old and 5years old), they really love this song. Younger one has named you Rapunzel and continually tell me how beautyfull voice you have!
I hope you sing more in Finnish, maybe more lullabys 😍
Awww how sweet :) Indeed I have a few Finn planned and I know I play the kantele upside down but I love it. Still I welcome recommedations of old lullabies, as long as they're older than 1924 so they are traditional. And tell your children I'm really honoured they like the song :)
Eres maravillosa
muchísimas gracias por el cumplido, video nuevo en cuanto youtube procese :) ya casi listo
I'm an American Finn and im learning more about my heritage and so far my favorite part was discovering Nuku Nuku
Awww thanks for letting me know. I love kantele (the instrument) and even Tolkien was inspired by Finn to create his elven languages. Thanks for stopping by :)
@@yidneth Of course 😊😊
@@yidneth Are you Finnish too?
@@svefnhnuturthorgeirsson No, I'm actually from Spain, but my ratties (you can find them hidden in the video) all had Finn names (Ritva, Tuula and Taika) and I love the music and playing kantele. I make my own original fantasy music but I have a weak spot for lullabies and old traditional tunes and the wisdom they carry.
@@yidneth Ahhhh ok but still, thats fantastic!
This is really good! The video is very well constructed and I'm stunned by your skills.
Thank you so much for watching and listening. Video was filmed a few weeks ago, the time in between seasons is really magical. Best regards!
Como siempre digo espectacular hermosa voz!!!!!😘👍👍👍
Gracias, aquí sale mucho una lavandera blanca (el pajarito) porque la letra dice "Duerme pajarillo, cansada lavandera" Tb como siempre las fufunchis ocultas (hay ratitas en cada video, tiene su razón lol)
Stunningly beautiful nature, forest and music dear Priscilla! Your voice is an exquisite work of art and it calms the soul. I wish you a wonderful weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a big like from me.
Such a beautiful compliment thanks so much, I don't know I didn't see notifications of some of the messages so replying late to your Xmas wishes, but taking tha chance to wish you an amazing 2020, thanks for the support
This is so beautiful.
Thank you so much.
Muy Hermosa Interpretación🥰, Igualmente fonética correcto👏. No te preocupe😘Saludos desde Finlandia🇫🇮
Gracias. Lo intenté lo mejor que pude con respeto y cariño
Breathtaking. You're music is so ethereal it never fails to give me shivers. Happy birthday love🎉
Me encanta Pris!!! La música, tu voz, los instrumentos, los paisajes, TODO!!! Felicidades hadita preciosa!!!
Gracias por parar por aquí y dejar un comentario. Este lo grabamos cuando vino alassie y todos heladicos pero apañadico haha
@@yidneth siii os seguí por stories, valientes!!! 😍
Hermoso
Muchísimas gracias
Excellent work. The sound of the kantele is exquisite and mixes well with your voice.
Thank you for stopping by. I know I play it a bit unconventionally but I am from Spain and self taught. Thanks for stopping by, I havevwatched some of your lovely kantele performances. It inspires me to get better. I haveva 21 strings. It has two thicker bass strings and then 19 but I am unsure how to tune it. Now I am happy that even notbthe most proficient performer kantele is one layer in my signature sound. This was probably the first time I used it for an original composotion I wrote called "In the Mist" th-cam.com/video/ke8qA6SjG9s/w-d-xo.html" Will be stopping by your channel again, youtube knows I love kanteleand keeps on recommending ❤ happy new year
@@yidneth that's a peculiar amount of strings with the 21. I personally play 15 stringed ones that I've made myself. I have plans to build 18 stringed ones with more bass strings (5 most likely). I personally tune my kanteles so that the 5th longest string (not counting the bass strings) is a D. And I tune the kantele to a natural D minor scale. that works the best for me. Maybe you can try something similar with your 21 string. It all depends on how long the strings are. I would not try forcing the 5th string into D if it gets too loose or tight. In that case, just find the most natural place for the D and extrapolate from that. Or if you use any other scale, then just replace the D with what ever is your root note.

Thank you :)
Thank you for another wonderful musical and visual experience.
Thanks always for the support and encouragement. I already shared the download on patreon. :*
Such a beautiful and peaceful video
Glad you find it peaceful, it's lullaby after all :) the birdie is a wagtail which is mentioned in the song, and there are hidden ratties as always, did you spot them?
Awsome. Love from Sri Lanka
Greetings back from Spain
im very love your song and your voice, is so beautiful.
Thank you very much for the compliment
This is really a lovely video and song!
Thank you Amber, this one in particular is a very old folk lullaby from Finland
¡Preciosa! Acabo de comprarla en Bandcamp.
Muchísimas gracias por el apoyo, lo agradezco mucho
Absolutely gorgeous..kiitos ❤
Aw thanks so much, I am intending to spend more time with my kantele and learn more Finn and Karelian songs. Any recommendations of really ancient ones? Blessings
Por todos los dioses, ¡qué maravilla! Sabe a poco..., repito el vídeo! ¡Y qué guapa estás! ¿No pasaste frío?
Pasé un poquito hahahah en verdad no se ve en el video pero estaba cayendo aguanieve y acabé con el traje chorreando y el pelo empapado aparte de estar a cero grados hahaha así que un poco, pero de todo el canal en el que pasé más frío (horroroso) es en el de closing of the year, en ese teníamos ventisca, y todo el mundo que si usé una máquina de viento y yo hahah sí, sí hahaha XD en ese fue uf ! :) mi límite hahah
Ya ves que poquita nieve este invierno
@@yidneth Let's pray for snow 🌨. Todavía nos queda invierno!
@@andreuenigma Todavía espero una nevada sorpresa pero voy a sufrir por esas flores tempranitas que están ya saliendo en los árboles si cae una muy grande
Maravillosa canción.....como todas las que haces ♥️♥️
Muchísimas gracias, en este caso es una nana tradicional muy antigua hoy me ha hecho ilusión un oyende de Finlandia que me ha dicho que recordaba cantar esta canción en el colegio de pequeño, y no sé, me ha hecho ilusión. Hay muchas versiones bellas del tema y cada uno lo hace a su manera como es lo orgánico de reinterpretar temas muy antiguos, que van cambiando con cada uno y con las generaciones, es parte de la magia que tienen. Por supuesto seguiré compartiendo mis originales (el anterior video por ejemplo) pero sí quiero revisitar algunos temas folk europeos de diferentes países y bueno intentaré no pronunciar muy malamente hahah XD. Gracias por el comentario, y por favor compartid para difundir. Gracias :)
Gracias a ti ♥️♥️
your pronounce is good! also i spotted one birdie on your right hand :)
Thank you so much, the bird (Västäräkki) is here and there all throughout the video hidden here and threre, also 3 hidden ratties 🐀🐀🐀. And many thanks
@@yidneth well maybe i have to re-watch the video, and try to spot atleast one rattie then ;) good day to you
I love, love,love your voice! Bellisima!
Thank you so much, honoured
its like being transported to another world! Magical!!

It is an old Finn lullaby, the instrument I play is finn so I have a weakness for Finn and Karelian folk. Thanks so much, we need to catch up on discord one day?
yes def
Most excellent. Muy bueno.
Thanks. Gracias
very nice...
thank you :) appreciated!
nuku-lainen! :O
pieni lintu laulaa 🐦
My mind is absolutely blown back every single time listening and watching you Priscilla! incredible visuals and sounds. your ancient folk style lullabies are incredible, this music I can hear in so many wonderful visual pictures and films for the masses. you are gorgeous
I'm trying to revisit some old songs, and some traditionals too. Among my influences there is film music, 80s (yeah that vintage) and traditional folk so now and then I do a cover, looking for old public domain songs from different countries also give me the chance to explore pronouncing other languages and that for me is kind of a challenge :) always hoping not to mess!
✨🕯️♥️What a beautiful 😍
Thanks for the compliment :)
I don't think it was like a tradition, but this was also sung at the young child's funeral back in the day.
also: nice video.
thank you so much for your kind words, we love making videos, editing a few outdoors again but also will be sharing more candid and frequent live snippets from the studio now on.
Super super super song!!!! Super super super video!!!!!!
Thank you, song is an old traditional lullaby, place Urbasa Beechwoods, in another video, GROW, u can see these woods in Summer, so different in different seasons. Thank you !
@@yidneth god bless you!!!!!!!
beautiful song ❤
Most of my channel is my original music but this in particular is a very ancient traditional Finn folk song
Wonderful piece of music and great vocal(s), very well produced. Absolutely love it!!
Thanks so much, i make my own music too but this one is a very ancient Finn lullaby. The production was kept simple and acoustic mostly. Really encouraged by the lovely compliment.
@@yidneth You're welcome!
Hermosa mujer

¡¡He visto al 🐥 cinco veces!!😜
I saw the 🐥 five times!!😜
Creo que hay algunas más pero mañana mismo las cuento yo misma hahah XD ahora que me doy cuenta no lo he hecho, también salen las "fufunchis" las ratitas, salen siempre en cada video escondidas :) pero no pongáis los tiempos para que la gente juegue :) Gracias por verlo :)

@@yidneth ¡¡pero qué me dices, como mola!!. Ahora mismo te escribo un mail desde la web. ¡¡Muchisisisisisismas gracias!!
😍😍😍
It was a special day between seasons, was autumn but snowing.
For me this is burial song. I wish someone would sing it for me after my death.
It is indeed one of the interpretations of the song as "a lullaby" but I like to think it's also about the birdie :) that by the way is the guest of the video. Still for me it's a song of stillness and quietness, calm. Hope you liked me rendition. Blessings.
Belleza en estado puro
me encanta! la cancion es super relajante, perfecta para el otoño/invierno. Me gusta mucho mucho!!
Me encanta las transiciones entre estaciones aunque ya ves que poquito de invierno hemos tenido este año
Have no idea what the words are but this made me shed a tear! Just beautiful!
I posted the lyrics translation to english on my site priscillahernandez.com/lyrics/nuku-nuku-nurmilintu-traditional-finnish-lullaby I'll try to ad subs to all videos in the channel eventually. And thanks for the lovely compliment :)
Basically it's "sleep sleep little bird" the title :) and it meantions a wagtail which is the bird you see through the video
@@yidneth Ah Found them. Just lovely. I am trying to put together a playlist of lullabies for my baby cousin who is half Russian is Russian, the Nordic languages, Gaelic, Welsh and English.
@@cousinnobody3452 I compose lullabies myself :) some originals but here you'll find some traditionals, also among recent uploads I uploaded an icelandic, but warning, though the song is pretty it has then a dark story (and you should cut the second half of the video hahah XD) . I recently recorded the traditional Twinkle Twinkle little star that many ignore has a super long and compelling beautiful lyrics (longer than the traditional verse everyone sings). A russian lullaby is also on the way. Most of my channel is devoted to my own original songs and some geek fantasy covers, but from time to time I like to do traditionals with old lore behind them, and I have a weak spot myself for lullabies so expect more. Thanks for stopping by.
The accent is a bit off but its still good
Thank you I am aware of it, I do not speak Finn, tried my best :)
Priscilla Hernandez you did pretty good job actually for someone who doesn’t speak finnish
@@a.v.j5664 I play some kantele and jouhikko and have a weak spot for ancient folk songs. I have also one in Latvian, more finn on the way. I makev my own original music too, but I love European folk music. Was done with utter respect. Best regards. Btw. I am from Spain. Curious fact there are 3 ratties hidden in the video and their names are Finn: Tuula, Ritva and Taika 🐭
You're beautiful. This is an old lullaby that still sounds very soothing.
thanks so much for the compliment, I do love this song and lullabies in general, I think they carry a great weight of tradition and love. The day it was filmed was special I had some friends visiting and it was a perfect day between autumn and winter.
When i take my life when my heart is broken and my soul is burning with pain and sorrow this i will listen.
well that's rather intense and kind of heartbreaking but whatever struggle I hope music always brings comfort
